Global Education

Become a Part of the Global Community

Global Education at Gordon is about immersion—connecting to a new community as a participant and not just an observer. Come study, live, and discover a new pattern of life, and see how people experience the world on the other side of the ocean, town or table.

Our vision centers on global and local ways to engage students with other communities in and beyond their studies, through service-learning projects, missions, study abroad, or community/church-sponsored activities.

I hope to introduce my friends to the kind of conversation I learned from the Italians. Whether over dinner, a walk, or a chance meeting in the street, Italians take time out of their day to build relationships with others. I want to make a point of spending time with a friend just talking and listening to one another, without distractions from laptops or smart phones.”—Tyler Ostrander ’14, Gordon IN Orvieto
